Quantiki

Open permanent position at Telecom ParisTech
Associate Professor on Quantum Information and Post Quantum Cryptography

The Quantum Information and Applications (IQA) group of Telecom Paristech is conducting a research activity centered on quantum information, quantum communication and cryptography. This research combines theoretical work on quantum information, communication and quantum cryptographic protocols with the development of an experimental platform allowing experimental demonstrations of quantum communication protocols.

Another PhD position is available to work at Peter Gruenberg Institute (PGI-2) and Juelich-Aachen Research Alliance Institute (JARA) in Forschungszentrum Juelich in Germany. The degree will be granted by RWTH University in Aachen. The student will work with Dr. Mohammad H. Ansari and the project can be started in the Summer or Fall 2017.

Applications are invited for the above post to work with Professor Gerardo Adesso on an ERC Starting Grant project entitled “Genuine quantumness in cooperative phenomena” funded by the European Research Council. The principal goal of the project is to analyse and challenge the quantum-classical border from a jointly fundamental and applicative viewpoint. The project is expected to deliver novel tools for the characterisation of quantumness in composite systems and to develop novel platforms for its practical utilisation in quantum technology applications.

Applications from highly motivated researchers are welcome for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. Adolfo del Campo in the Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts Boston.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in physics or a related field and ideally have strong background in theoretical quantum physics. Research topics include fundamental aspects of time in quantum mechanics, quantum measurement theory, quantum speed limits, non-equilibrium dynamics of isolated and open many-body systems, quantum metrology, and experiment design in quantum technologies.

Open position for Postdoctoral Fellow at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) in the group of Asst. Prof. Dario Poletti.

We are looking for somebody with experience with Matrix Product States (or similar) to study the dynamics of manybody quantum open systems with particular emphasis on transport issues. The position is for 2 years.

In conjunction with Leonardo MW Ltd, the Department of Computer Science is offering a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of York. Quantum detection is an emerging field which has been applied in the optical domains and is now being scaled to microwave frequencies to make “quantum radar”. A theoretical exploration of the subject is needed to determine the potential improvements in detection performance (e.g. range and robustness against noise) which quantum technology offers when compared to current “classical” detection methods.
